This week at the Kids Cooking Camp, we're prepping for a family-friendly dinner party that we'll throw on Friday night. We'll be making crostini with labneh, pasta with homemade tomato sauce, kale salad, and a showstopping icebox cake—while also practicing our breakfast-making skills.

Looking for a way to keep the kids busy this summer? The Small Plates Kids Cooking Camp will lead you through two weeks of kid-friendly activities, both in the kitchen and out. On the schedule: learning how to make homemade marshmallows for the best s’mores of your life, planting your very own herb garden, throwing a family dinner party (complete with homemade decorations), and even going on a couple of field trips! Grocery lists and a day-by-day summary for the camp are below; to get the full experience, sign up for the Small Plates newsletter.

This week's project is a good old-fashioned campfire cookout, which you and your crew will be throwing on Friday night. On the menu: hot dogs on a stick, corn on the cob, hobo-pack potatoes with rosemary, and s'mores made with homemade graham crackers and marshmallows! When the kids are not prepping for the cookout, they'll be mastering a few breakfast classics, like granola, parfaits, and scrambled eggs.
